Lingering thoughts of an inconsequential moment

A dinner that I attended, a team dinner. The theme was Masquerade. An event of masks, gowns, suits and ties. 

It was a celebration for a win. A get-together of the most random people. And the moment that still lingers ever so often in my mind is when someone played the piano, a very familiar melody. The Scientist, I realised. And people just gathered around, humming to the song, smiling, and singing. 

Nobody said it was easy, its such a shame for us to part.

And we sang. It wasn't anywhere near perfect, but it was a moment of warmth and joy.

Though a short one, but memorable. Cause I then remembered how music can be so alive, and how it unites people.
